BU-SETAC

BU-SETAC is a student organization that promotes and inspires student research in Environmental Science, while also providing a space for students in our department to connect and build community. We aim to promote student research, encourage philanthropy, and engage the broader community through educational events with the ultimate goal of improving science education and environmental stewardship within Baylor University and our broader community.

About BU SETAC

The main goal of BU-SETAC is to promote student involvement and research in environmental science. BU-SETAC is associated with the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), a global organization that promotes environmental quality through science and hosts annual conferences in both North America and Europe. Our student chapter aims to engage the broader community provided by SETAC to provide a path of communication between undergraduate, graduate students and academics or professionals in industry, academia, and government. Along with our facilitation and support of student research opportunities, we organize volunteer and philanthropic events to promote environmental awareness and engage stakeholders within our community.

BU SETAC welcomes any student, regardless of area of interest, who is passionate about environmental science and related fields. We host monthly meetings, which often provide the opportunity for students to present their current research, practice for upcoming conferences, and meet fellow students who are passionate about similar subjects. Also, we are excited to have recently launched a mentoring program, which allows for further interaction and community building between graduate and undergraduate students. Whether it is joining our monthly meetings or participating in any of our great traditions like our hiking trips, we welcome all as we promote environmental science at Baylor and beyond.

Mentoring Program

BU SETAC is proud to have recently launched our mentoring program, which pairs graduate students with current undergraduates to provide advice and help as they begin to explore a career in environmental science after graduation. If you are a current undergraduate who would like to be paired with a mentor, or a current graduate student who would like to join this program, please contact the current BU SETAC President or Vice President.
